I definitely often say water, usually because of the way it’s asked, usually something like “What would you like to drink today?”
So it’s usually just “water” or “I’ll have water” or whatever drink in response. Glass of water sounds odd in response to me, especially since sometimes it’s green tea which usually wouldn’t come in a glass. Or coffee, etc
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
Hey now french expensive water is really good though! How expensive is it where you live? I get a big (75cl?) bottle of st Pellegrino for like 3.50€ here in France.
AI = bad, I know, but do people order “water, please” instead of “a glass of water, please” ?
Unless you want to end up with an expensive bottle of french water instead of a single glass of tap water

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.
