I want to say rich people go somewhere. Can I use "people with deep pockets"?

Are these okay?

1. Most of the people who go to this restaurant are from higher classes and have deep pockets.

2. Only people with deep pockets go to this restaurant.
 
1. No. (What do you mean by "higher classes"?)
2. OK.

Possibilities.

1. It's a pricey restaurant.
2. Not everybody can afford to eat there.
3. It's only for the well-heeled.
4. The menu items are pricey.
5. It's only for those who can afford champagne.
6. It's not for everybody. Only those who can afford $100 a plate meals eat there..
7. It's a fancy restaurant. The food is expensive.
8. Regular people have to take out a second mortgage to eat there.
9. People who have money might eat there. People who are not rich don't eat there.
 
@alpacinou - When referring to the class system, we use "upper class(es)", not "higher class(es)".

So, is this okay?

It's OK.
 
It's OK, if a bit wordy.

Most of this restaurant's customers/patrons are rich, posh people.
