You really need to ask the waiter before hand. Often times at fancier restaurants you aren't expected to just order and entree and be full, and yet that's what some patrons expect.
An example is high end Italian places will often have a pasta section at say 20-40/item and entree's 30-100's, and you think you can just order a pasta and have a good meal. Except you're really intended to order a couple appetizers, a pasta meal each and an entree. It's not them trying to take all your money, but it's what the normal clientele expect. It's also often what the food quality/prices demand.
If it's a truly good restaurant (and not just an expensive one), you shouldn't be coming away hungry.
