I don't see how 'mistake' could be used in this case. If you mistake an object, that means you confused it with something else or that you have evaluated it incorrectly.
I mistook him for the pizza delivery guy. (identity confusion)
I mistook what the teacher said. (misunderstanding, wrong evaluation)
I was mistaken about the restaurant. (wrong evaluation) (I mistook it = I got it wrong = I evaluated it incorrectly)
