Crew was late starting descent to make a crossing restr and as a result the high descent rate resulted in overshooting the crossing restr altitude.

Narrative:
Trying to make 11000 ft MSL restr at holey intersection with high descent rate and overshot altitude by 300 ft and popped right back to altitude. There was a lot of chatter on the radio and fuel concerns because we were diverted from our original destination which detracted from our descent planning.
