I came across this word in a paragraph containing a conversation in a restaurant. I checked the translation and it says "Tonic Water" but I have no Idea what tonic water is either.... So what does it mean?

I gave you both definitions because they are often confused. Soda water is not sweet but Tonic water is sweet. - --Mariana--, Feb 16, 2013

Often people will use soda water which is sometimes called club soda and is simply carbonated water in a mixed drink and will call it tonic water. - kirk1, Feb 16, 2013
