It really depends on the course, the size of the bird, how much else is on the plate, and how poultry-intensive you want your meal to be.

We sell whole quail in two sizes: regular (4.7-5.6oz each) and imperial (6.3-7.4oz each).  An imperial quail can provide a single entree serving, while for the smaller standard quail you may want to serve two for a hearty meal.  That said, a single regular quail makes a nice light meal or appetizer serving, and we even have some quail recipes where we recommend half a quail per serving.
