I agree. It should be 'Quite honestly'. This is a common expression used before giving an opinion on something, especially if it's a strong opinion. 'What did you think of xx?' 'Quite honestly, I thought it was a complete disaster.'

I think you might have misunderstood that though quite honestly does exist and means very honestly

I don't think there is such a thing. I quite honestly think that.... It is not "quiet" it means silence but quite has a different meaning in the sentence you asked. so quiet and quite are different words.
