Hmmm, why don't you just sand it back down and refinish it?
If you want to tile it, you'll need to use flexible adhesive and as you'll be eating off it, I'd be inclined to use an epoxy grout like this http://www.bal-adhesives.co.uk/bal/bal_products/easypoxy.asp But you've been warned, it's not easy to use. You'll also need to sort something out for edging the tiles. You might be as well making a raised wooden frame that will surround the tiles and cover the edges.
Still prefer refinishing it though.
