Roughly:
British "quite" means somewhat.
American "quite" means very.
A Brit saying a suggestion is "quite good" is actually saying it's not good enough, whereas a US listener will think they've been told the opposite.

For context, I'm British though I have spent a fair amount of time in the states over the years and somehow never picked up this difference.
"You did a fine job"
"It is quite impossible"
