That rather depends on what you want to say about the restaurant!  Depending on whether you thought the high prices were justified or not, you might say a posh restaurant, a swanky restaurant, a high-class restaurant... or an overpriced restaurant.

Thank you Lil'Ruby Rose Smile [:)] .
Yes, I was thinking about one with high but justified prices, the one that requires suitable clothes, e.g. suits and ties.
