quite good
Better than average
Quite good is a mild compliment indicating something is better than average but not exceptional.
The phrase often functions as faint praise—acceptable but unremarkable: The soup was quite good.
In British usage especially, quite can understate genuine approval, making the phrase sometimes warmer than it appears.
