I spilled finger nail polish remover on my wood table. Is there anything I can do to restore the finish?

Really, the only thing you can do is to refinish the whole top. Sand it down good and reapply some polyurethane. Being the klutz that I am, I have now refinished my coffee table 3 times! LOL
How much did it cost you to sand it and redo the table?
If your top is veneer, please do not sand your table. You could ruin it completely. Carefully remove the finish on the table top with one of the commercial products offered at the hardware or other stores. DO NOT let it drip on other parts of the table or you will end up having to redo the whole table. Your best advice will come from the store personnel who know "how to" restore your table.
Quickest thing to do is to put nail polish on one part of the stain and wipe it off by a tissue quickly before it dries. the stain will be gone. then repeat that for the rest of the stain
I put mayonaise on it first then spread ashes from our firepit(cooled ashes) on top and let it sit for an hour. Wiped it off with a slightly wet pape towel and after 2 more times it was back to new....it worked wonders!!!
