Narrative:

I landed uneventfully. I switched to ground and asked to taxi to a FSS on the ground. I was told to taxi via taxiway B. Within seconds I was notified by ground that I was not on taxiway B, but in a 'restr area' on the field. I replied that I, too, had just took note of this, but it was too late to turn off at this point. Ground reminded me this was a restr area used for commercial transports, but allowed me to continue to taxi through it to my destination.
