Another option is to go from the top, then put in a decorative pole from
ceiling to floor punching through the table and the wires go inside, I
could even do phone and cat5 cables in it too.

I actually like this idea better. I am sure one end f that table is in a
spot where extra light would be good so you can make it almost look a bit
like a 'floor lamp' with light extensions on it, then discrete outlets all
along the base where it meets the table. Say, something like a square
'pole' about 4inches on all sides? Then take 2 or 4 decorative lights such
as you might see on a ceiling fan and put them about it. You could even put
a switch or dimmer for them on the pole.

If the lighting assembly fit better in the livingroom portion, don't
dispair. You can run some outlet from under the table then and pop it back
up at the kitchen end. (Be sure it's set so that kitchen common liquids you
may have on that ned of the table cant get in. Flush to the table top
wouldnt be safe though might sound nifty.
