UITableView is starting with an offset in iOS 7
From iOS7 transition guide:
If you don’t want a scroll view’s content insets to be automatically adjusted, set automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets to NO. (The default value of automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets is YES.)
self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = NO;
By default table view controllers will pad the content down under the nav bar so you could scroll the content under it and see it, in a blurred state, underneath the navbar/toolbar.
Looks like you're positioning it at 44 (maybe 64)px to move it out from under the nav bar, but it already compensates for this so you get a big gap.
Go to the storyboard/xib in IB and untick the show content under nav bar stuff.
The new iOS 7 implementation of UIViewController has a new set of options that allows the developer to choose if the system will automatically add insets for UIScrollView, UITableView and derivations.
To disable this behaviour uncheck these boxes for all your wanted UIViewControllers in InterfaceBuilder, on UIViewController selected object inspector:
