        Yes, it's good, but not downtown.

          Ah downtown. Sorry did not see that!
          A Salmon platter is quite common in a lot of the well known brunch spots. Off the top of my head, Blue Ribbon Bakery and Balthazar.

        Prune has a plate of salmon, garnishes, etc. and a bagel, from Russ & Daughters.

        So does Stanton Social but theirs is from Wolf and Sons.

          You might give Sarge's a try though I've never had any appetizing there, so I ca't vouch for the quality.
