I don't know what restaurants you go to, but during my adult life not once "water please" failed to get me a glass of water.

Sometimes the waiter asks if bottled or tap, but thats about it.

    I went to a restaurant in Dallas near the stadiums where asking for "water, please" got us a glass bottle of whatever rich-people water they served.

    Everything was expensive and the food was super whatever. It's called Soy Cowboy, if anybody's curious.

    Well since it's annoying for both the waiter and the customer to have to ask/precise every time if it's bottled or tap, I just always say it directly, and I've seen other people do it

    While abroad, I once asked many years ago for water in a restaurant and ended up with a 8$ 1L bottle, I'm not making that mistake again
