The method that worked for me was an iron (do not use steam), place a towel over the water marks and iron for 10-15 seconds. Repeat until it is gone checking the progress.

Lemon Juice/Vinegar and Salt
Lemon juice and vinegar are mild acids that help to dissolve mineral solids.
Apply Heat from a Dry Iron

Mayo. Spread mayo and put plastic wrap on top, leave overnight and wipe off.
I assume the table is wood... a light sanding may help or perhaps re finish the top.
