If you can find a stain that is a good match, just the top.
Another idea would be to go two-tone, which is very popular right now. In that case you can go with a darker stain or a paint on the top.
Julie: I agree with Kathy (IF everything but the top is in good shape) -- TWO tone would be a trendy way to go!
I have not tried this but I have heard that mayonnaise can remove water rings on wood furniture! Might be worth a try.

Here's some pics of what I did......when I sanded just the top, the wood grain was so pretty that I decided to stain it with an ebony stain to match myy kitchen, and put black cushions in the chairs. Take a look. I think it turned out great.
