You can report credit card theft at any time. Obviously, the sooner the better. However, whether or not the suspect is prosecuted depends on state of jurisdiction. Your local state attorneys office should be able to guide you how/when to file the charges.

First, make sure it's not the restaurant's policy to add a gratuity for a certain party size or cost of meal. Then, immediately dispute the charge with your credit card company so you can have it removed. Then you can either call and complain to the restaurant manager or file a police report in the jurisdiction of the restaurant's location. The crime could be considered a petit theft or a felony credit card theft charge.
