They brought us a bill after dinner, my wife handed over the debit card, and they brought us the sales receipt and my wife signed off for $86.

The more I think about this the more pissed I'm getting. If your staff is into the habit of charging my credit card for more than I agreed to pay.... Isn't that illegal?
You only need to pay the amount you signed for legally. I would dispute the entire charge and teach the restaurant a lesson. Most likely it is a rogue employee. When I used to drive an airport shuttle we had a guy that did this. Added $10 to what ever you tipped him. He lasted about 4 days.
