First of all: Please use valid vB Code syntax. It has to be: [table="option=value"]
Every linebreak opens a new row - you wrote the new table into a new line and so it gets a new row. Put it into the same row if you you want it in the same row.
Currently I have problems with vB Codes generating a block level element (such as center, left, ...) at the end of a line, because vBulletin removes the linebreak after this element. Please use CSS for centering the head column.
I currently don't know why {br} there makes a new line - I suggest because of the two nested tables. This hasn't been tested very well.

Here is the new code:
[table="width=100%"]|
[table="head;width=80%"]{colsp=2}[b]A Place To Eat[/b] - [i]Some Named Object[/i]
[b]Name:[/b]|Some Named Object
[b]Address:[/b]|Address 1, Address 2, Some City, GA 32434
[b]Phone:[/b]|
[b]Guide Description:[/b]|some descriptive text [/table]|[table="head;width=20%"]Map Location map goes here|[/table]
[/table]

What's live sortable columns?

Thanks With live sortable colums, the head colums are klickable. When you klick on the head of the first column, the table gets sorted for the first column. If you click again it gets sorted reverse. You can do this for every column.
Take the second table here: http://www.jabber.org/software/clients.shtml
They use merely the same code for this.

Sorry, I can't reproduce this. Please try it with a clean install, and report the modification causing this.

Are you using a non-standard style? I think it would be the easiest if you provide me a example thread with this table and its vB Code (use the [noparse] tags for it) of the table.
