How to check to see if a table exists in Azure.Data.Tables (v 12.5.0)

My data-reading code (currently using Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.Table) calls a simple method to check to see if a table exists or not; it then make decisions based on that. (I don't want to create the table if it doesn't exist; I'm just reading here.)

How to do the same thing in Azure.Data.Tables, to which we are now urged to migrate?

As suggested by christothes:

bool exists = false;
await foreach(var tbl in service.QueryAsync(t => t.Name == "mytable"))
{
   exists = true;
}

References: Migration guide from Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.Table to Azure.Data.Tables and Tables migration guide should provide more context on the omission of the Exists method
