Narrative:
Altitude restr. Approach control asked if we could make our restr at saalr intersection. We were high to top WX and told them that it was close but that we could make saalr at 11000 ft. He said that it was too close and to turn west. As we turned west we leveled at saalr at 11000 ft. We asked if he showed us at saalr at 11000 ft and he replied, 'that's approved.' I don't think his equipment kept up with our high rate of descent.
