First off, I hope this cat is up to date on ALL of it's shots.
Questions...
When's the last time he saw the vet, and have you talked to your vet about this behavoir. Has your cat always been this way?

Also when he jumps up on the table is he trying to make a mad dash for a peice of food and then gobble it all up. Or is he on the table to try and get attention?
How old is this cat.

Have you tried telling the cat to get down, and then picking him up and placing him on the floor if he wont get down?
With cats that don't know not to get up on tables, or to not try and eat my food, if they wont respond to the normal methods then I wind up putting the cat away behind a closed door with toys and her own food while I eat.
It's not something I typically do, but I have had to do it.
